DAILY DRESS: 16/12/10

Thursday December 16th: SHOPPING!
Best purchase of the day - a beautiful Ann Demeulemeester vest which I will photograph and post soon.


WORE: Future Classics silk tie-dye dress, black tights, Jessica Simpson DALY heels, leather jacket.

This dress was so expensive that for the first few weeks I wouldn't touch it as I knew I should just sell it rather than keep it but I've wanted it so long and had shelled out for it so couldn't bear to part with it. Then, even after making the decision it took me a while to actually wear it out as I was so scared to ruin it. My first night in Vancouver I went out to dinner with my parents and some friends and I told my mother it was the first time I'd worn the dress out - she promptly pointed out how stupid it was that it's first outing be to an Italian restaurant. However, dress survived tomato sauce/stain free..

The only thing that bothers me about this dress is that every time I wear it, it falls apart a little more! It was brand new when I got it but because all of their pieces are handsewn sometimes the hems tend to not hold very long and as soon as the stitching as come lose it's a downhill battle. But when I get home I'll give it a bit of a better stitch up and start trying to take care of it a little better!!

Regarding the shoes, my DALY heels are getting a lot more wear than I first thought they would! I thought they might be resigned to dinners and movies where I knew I would be dropped at the curb and would have minimal walking all night but in fact I've been wearing them EVERYWHERE. A few girls stopped me at Gypsy Market last weekend to remark on them (one who said she's been trying to track them down for forever - i hear you girl!) and the salespeople at the store where I bought the vest today applauded me on 'actually wearing them out rather than storing them in the cupboard like most women would'. Bless you! (If only they knew how comfortable they were...)
